Reviews

Praise for the first edition: "A formidable and well-documented counterblast to a developing modern orthodoxy, expressing a point of view that many readers will not even have suspected existed, let alone read." (Anthony Daniels, The Spectator) "A useful and controversial contribution to the debate about victor's justice, and a valuable warning that international war crimes tribunals need to operate with precision and care." (Jonathan Steele, The Guardian)
